Great message. With my type of work, I never spent a ton of money on clothes. I probably am spending more now at my older age but steel keeping it simple. I wear suspenders as you know that is totally out of style but it keeps me from embarrassing me and others.

Your suspenders are your look. It's functional and comfortable.

Same! We can only care about so many things, and I love not thinking about what I should wear.

My uniform: denim shorts or jeans with an ice-dyed tshirt (I love colour and dyeing). Black down jacket if it's cold. I have a few other layers if needed but they all match, and they all fit into a 7kg carry-on for travel.

It's so simple. I always look the same but no-one ever comments.

I love that you can fit everything into a 7kg carry-on case! That's impressive. It's great whey you mentally turn the corner and realize that nobody cares what you're wearing. I think it's called the spotlight effect.

I am slowly leaning towards doing this with my wardrobe as well. I love me a solid tee with great graphics, but prices these days for a quality t-shirt are insane. Also, Peter's youtube has been one of my favorites the past few months. His Appalachia series was amazing!

Do it! You’ll free up a ton of mental energy. I agree, his Appalachia series is so good.
